The student is now told that the four solids, in no particular order, are aluminum chloride (AlCl3), sugar (C6H12O6), benzoic ac

id (C6H5COOH), and sodium bromide (NaBr). Assuming that conductivity is correlated to the number of ions in solution, rank the four substances based on how well a 0.20 M solution in water will conduct electricity. Rank from most conductive to least conductive. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them. View Available Hint(s)

Answer:

AlCl₃, NaBr, C₆H₅COOH, C₆H₁₂O₆.

Explanation:

The more ions in solution, the greater the conductivity of a solution because these charged particles can carry electrons in the solution.

In the first place, when AlCl₃ dissolves in water it produces 4 ions:

AlCl₃(aq) ⇄ Al³⁺(aq) + 3 Cl⁻(aq)

If the solution is 0.20M in AlCl₃, it will be 4 x 0.20M = 0.80M in ions.

Secondly, NaBr is a strong electrolyte (<em>complete ionization</em>) so it produces 2 moles of ions per each mole of NaBr dissolved:

NaBr(aq) ⇄ Na⁺(aq) + Br⁻(aq)

If the solution is 0.20M in NaBr, it will be 2 x 0.20M = 0.40M in ions.

Then, benzoic acid is a weak electrolyte (<em>partial ionization</em>) so it will produce <em>less than</em> 2 moles of ions per each mole of benzoic acid dissolved:

C₆H₅COOH(aq) ⇄ C₆H₅COO⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq)

If the solution is 0.20M in benzoic acid, the solution will be far below 0.40M in ions.

Finally, sugar has only nonpolar covalent bonds so it will produce no ions in solution, thus being a poor electricity conductor.

A fixed amount of gas at 25.0°C occupies a volume of 10.0 L when the pressure is 667 torr. Use Boyle's law to calculate the pres
zaharov [31]

Answer:

The pressure, when the volume is reduced to 7.88L, is 846 torr (option A)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

The temperature of a gas = 25.0°C

AT 25 °C the gas occupies a volume of 10.0L and a pressure of 667 torr.

The volume reduces to 7.88 L but the temperature stays constant.

Step 2: Boyle's law

(P1*V1)/T1 = (P2*V2)/T2

 ⇒ Since the temperature stays constant, we can simplify to:

P1*V1 = P2*V2

⇒ with P1 = the initial pressure 667 torr

⇒ with V1 = the initial volume = 10.0 L

⇒ with P2 = the final pressure = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ with V2 = the final volume = 7.88L

P2 = (P1*V1)/V2

P2 = (667*10.0)/7.88

P2 = 846 torr

The pressure, when the volume is reduced to 7.88L, is 846 torr (option A)

If you knew the number of valence electrons in a nonmetal atom how would you determine the valence of the element. (Ignore hydro
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The possible valances can be determined by electron configuration and electron negativity

Good Luck even though this was asked 2 weeks ago

Explanation:

All atoms strive for stability. The optima electron configuration is the electron configuration of the VIII A family or inert gases.

Look at the electron configuration of the nonmetal and how many more electrons the nonmetal needs to achieve the stable electron configuration of the inert gases. Non metals tend to be negative in nature and gain electrons. ( They are oxidizing agents)

For example Florine atomic number 9 needs one more electron to reach a valance number of 8 electrons to equal Neon atomic number 10. Hence Flowrine has a valance of -1

Oxygen atomic number 8 needs two more electrons to reach a valance number of 8 electrons to equal Neon atomic number 10. Hence Oxygen has a valance charge of -2.

Non metals with a low electron negativity will lose electrons when reacting with another non metal that has a higher electron negativity. When the non metal forms an ion it is necessary to look at the electron structure to determine how many electrons the element can lose to gain stability.

For example Chlorine which is normally -1 like Florine when it combines with oxygen can be +1, +3, + 5 or +7. It can lose its one unpaired electron, or combinations of the unpaired electron and sets of the three pairs of electrons.

A 59.1g sample of aluminum is put into a calorimeter (see sketch at right) that contains 250.0g of water. The aluminum sample st
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

The specific heat capacity of aluminum according to this experiment is 0.863 J/g°C

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of aluminium = 59.1 grams

Mass of water = 250.0 grams

Initial temperature of aluminium = 91.3 °C

Initial temperature of water = 16.0 °C

Final temperature = 19.5 °C

Pressure remains constant

Specific heat capacity of water = 4.186 J/g°C

Step 2: Calculate specific heat of aluminium

Heat lost = heat gained

Qlost = -Q heat

Q = m*c*ΔT

heat aluminium = - heat water

m(aluminium) * c(aluminium) * ΔT(aluminium) = -m(water) * c(water) * ΔT(water)

⇒m(aluminium) = mass of aluminium = 59.1 grams

⇒c(aluminium) = the specific heat of aluminium = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ΔT = the change in temperature = T2 -T2 = 19.5 - 91.3 = -71.8 °C

⇒ m(water) = 250.0 grams

⇒c(water) = the specific heat of water = 4.186 J/g°C

⇒ΔT = the change in temperature = T2 -T2 = 19.5 - 16.0 = 3.5 °C

59.1 * c(aluminium) * -71.8 °C = 250.0 * 4.186 J/g°C * 3.5 °C

c(aluminium) = 0.863 J/g°C

The specific heat capacity of aluminum according to this experiment is 0.863 J/g°C
